Gini, Randi, the syrup is called "Lyle's Golden"... you must have it by you, Randi. I grew up with it (Scandinavian parents) and it is just like corn syrup. It's available in a lot of specialty deli's and gourmet stores in the U.S.

And Randi... you mentioned Cod for the holidays. Do the Danes, like the Norweigans, partake of the much maligned, dreaded Lute Fisk??? For those uniformed amongst you, it's a traditional Norweigan Christmas dish. Cooked Cod that has been soaked FOREVER in lye before cooking! It is an aquired taste, but actually, isn't bad...a little slimy but doesn't taste a bit like Drano! (Randi, Drano is a brand of lye based drain cleaner!!)
